Charley R. Mattingly, 76, of Owensboro passed away Monday, November 7, 2022, under the care of Hospice of W. Kentucky. As one of twelve children, the Daviess County native was born April 4, 1946, to the late Edwin and Mary Conner Mattingly. Charley was of the Catholic faith and served honorably in the U.S. Army. He became co-owner and operator of Riverside Door Service in Louisville. Most people will fondly remember Charley as the owner of Charley’s Yellow Rose for 35 years who retired in 2018.
